I support the proposal, although I would like to see a modification of
the language proposed,
specifically:

This subsection should be about lame *servers*, not delegations.
A delegation is the delegation of a zone, to *multiple* servers, and is
only lame if *all* servers are lame
for *that* zone.

7.2.1 Lame Server
A server is defined as being lame if all of the in-addr.arpa zones
for the specific name server of a specific network registration are lame.
An in-addr.arpa zone is defined as lame when ARIN requests the SOA record
from the name server registered in whois, but does not receive an answer
(within 30s on 3 successive queries).

7.2.2 Lame Zone Delegation
A zone delegation is defined as being lame if the
in-addr.arpa zone of a specific network registration is
lame, for all listed name servers. An in-addr.arpa zone
is defined as lame when ARIN requests the SOA record
from the name server registered in whois, but does not
receive an answer (within 30s on 3 successive queries).
